oh and liz is coming!!

I almost forgot Liz is coming tomorrow... my first visitor! She's in route to UCLA but is staying with me for one night. I'm so excited to show her around the town, go out to dinner, and have her meet my roommates and new friends :)
I miss her so much! I'm sooo excited!!! :)

my package came!

Just running off to the tennis courts, but I wanted to write a little note because I am so happy my package came today!! :) My wonderful family sent me an entire pan of carmelitas (soooo deliciouis) and a cute card and other random things to keep me busy! I love getting mail and I'm so happy that I got a little something that reminded me of home today. OH and mom sent a REALLY cute pair of sweats from Napa that I'm planning on sporting tonight. yah!
I love you all :) to the moon and back

lazy sunday

So I am due for an update, badly. Between classes and socially packed calendar I need to work on leaving some time to tell everyone what I've been up to. Well, I AM alive! I actually just woke up a little bit ago, late night. Last night was the first football game!! WooHooo.. we won 42-7 :) against some indian team? not sure. Anyways, that was really fun and then late it was our first all-school party 'En Fuego' We all dresseed up in red, orange, and yellow and made a night ot it :)
It was kinda like a dance but a lot of people ended up showing up and it was really good to for once start to see some familiar faces.
We didnt get home until late so a nap is looking pretty good today... I have some homework to do too. Friday I had my first spanish test ant I got an A-. I was pretty happy, and given the fact that most of it was review from HS I didnt have to study that much.
On friday night we went to this baseball party at some guys house off capmpus. The house was a little small for the amount of people who were actually there but they opened up the back yeard so it ws ok.
The heat has somewhat subsided... Wednesday was up there (like 100 again) but its been in the 90's more or less.
Tennis is going well too. I had my second inter-squad challenge match on Friday and won 6-1 6-2 :) I played this sophomore and shes really nice. But it was soo hott out on the court! OMG. I felt like my skin was just going to burn off. Omg. So, I'm 2-0 for intersquad matches. My first one was last sunday and I won in a tiebreaker 6-3 5-7 (tiebreak:10-8) Close, i Know. The girl I played then was a sophomore too and she played #6 for the team last year, so... thats good, yeah? There are 8 girls who make the travelling team and the rest practice and play home matches. I'm not expecting to make travelling and there are a couple girls who are abroad right now who dont come back until second semester, and a few of them were their top players last year. But reguardless, it will be a learning experiencee and I'm so glad the girls are all so nice. One of them is in a sorority (Delta) and wants me to look into it. Greek life would be so much fun but I have to make sure my schedule balances ok. I think after this semester I'll be able to see what I can and can't handle.
Will write back soon. Hi from sunny CA!! :)

a quick update

ahhhh so I havent updated in a while! where does the time go? well I'm just about to go hit but I wanted to write a little something so that it won't be a week since I've writenn anything!! Everthings going so well here! I went out both nights this weekend (and thursday) lol and met lots of really neat people. Its so weird for me to keep seeing non-familiar faces, I have to get used to not knowing everyone, the campus still feels so big!
Its cooling down today, I think (hope!) our 115 degree days are over... today's a designated homework day. And it will be nice to just relax and lay low. I might go lay out but a nap is sounding really good right now. I don't think I realize how much I'm running around doing things, staying out late and waking up at a reasonable hour. I think my energy, or lack there of, will catch up with me. I think it would be wise to power nap before our first monday of school rolls around!

happy labor day!

Classes start tomorrow. My first one is Bio at 9:30am. I think jackie and I are going to hit the gym before, its so nice here! Then I have psch around 11ish. But I havent had a chance to check and see which buliding thats in so! that will be an adventure! :)
Hopefully my other english book that I had to order comes in tomorrow, but I dont have it until Wednesday. Some girls and I watched the HIlls on the internet tonight since cable is hard to come buy and the supposed "cable guy" isnt showing up until Wednesday. woohooo.
We went off campus tonight to look around town (and also to get Ohana frozen yogurt) but since it was labor day everything was closed except for our lovely DQ! gotta love those dipped cones :)
Happy Labor Day everyone!

classes in two days!

Well, today offically concludes my first weekend here. It really weird because these past few days it has felt like there has been a million people all over campus and Im just realizing that 3/4 of our student body is not even here yet. ahh! It already feels so big. Anyways, last night was really fun. We had a dance thing and before me and some girls went to a party the baseball team was throwing. But the apartment was way too small and like 500 degrees so we didnt last long, lol. It's kinda cooled down today? I think the only reason I think that is because there's a breeze but the heat wave is supposed to end at the end of this week.
Classes start tuesday. I think were staying in a watching movies tonight, I have to work on this article for my Bio class due tuesday. Laying low :)
Excited/nervous for everyone else to get here!

weekend

First offical weekend night at school. But since its still freshmen orientation everything is like planned out and organized. The "mingling" is forced and Im getting tired of saying my name and where Im from. BUT it was a fun night, we had the 100th Centenial Dinner celebration where we wore our school colors and such :)
---going to sleep.
ps. register for classes tomorrow! wish me luck!! :D
